You can get an eye mask from just about anywhere! Comes in handy because you end up sleeping at random hours and it helped me get undistrubed rest. You should definitely bring one to the hospital as well!

Slippers!

Slippers are a MUST! My feet were freezing in the hospital and when I got home I didn't have the energy or movement capabilities to put on and take off shoes. UGGs have always been my favorite because they actually have soles which work for going outside but any slip on shoes work great!

After a week or two, when I was ready to go outside, I wanted to actually wear a shoe that wasn't a slipper! So I graduate to an actual UGG boot. Easy to slip on and off and kept my feet warm when it snowed.

Ok so my mom recently sent this to me and when I opened it I was laughing so hard. Like mom, I am having surgery NOT a baby!! But I tried it out and it is AMAZING. Instead of buying a ton of pillows to prop yourself up, all you need is this one big pillow that wraps all the way around you. GAME CHANGER!
